It is impossible to replace overnight the present Internet Protocol Version 4(IPv4)-based Internet with Internet Protocol Version 6(IPv6). These two protocols are expected to coexist for a number of years during the transition period. A number of transition mechanisms are proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) Next Generation Transition Working Group(Ngtrans WG). However, most of them provide only the mechanism to initiate sessions from hosts within the IPv6 network to those within the IPv4 network, but do not support the initiation from IPv4 hosts to IPv6 ones. In this paper, we propose the IPv4-to-IPv6 Dual Stack Transition Mechanism(4to6 DSTM) which can operate even in the case that IPv4 clients in the IPv4 network initiate connections with dual stack servers in the IPv6 network.

It will need a quite long time to replace IPv4 protocol, which currently used, with IPv6 protocol completely, thus we will use both IPv4 and IPv6 together in the Internet during the period. For coexisting protocols, IETF standardized various IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms. However, new security problems of IPsec adaptation and IPv6 packet filtering can be raised by tunneling mechanism which mainly used in transition mechanisms. To resolve these problems, we suggested two improved schemes for packet filtering functions, which consists of an inner header filtering scheme and a dedicated filtering scheme for IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms. Also we implemented our proposed schemes based on Linux Netfilter framework, and we tested their filtering functions and evaluated experimental performance of our implementation on IPv4/IPv6 transition testbed. These evaluation tests indicated that our improved packet filtering functions can solve packet filtering problems of IPv4/IPv6 transition mechanisms without severely affecting system performance.

The IETF has created the v6ops Working Group to assist IPv6 transition and propose technical solutions to achieve it. But it's quite problem which security consideration for a stage of IPv4/IPv6 transition and co-existence. There are new security problem threat that it caused by the characteristics of heterogeneity. In this paper, we describe IPv6 transition mechanisms and analyze security problem for IPv6 transition mechanism. also we propose security consideration and new security mechanism. We analyzed DoS and DRDoS in 6to4 environment and presented a address sanity check as a solution. We also showed an attack of address exhaustion in address allocation server. To solve this problem, we proposed challenge-response mechanism in DSTM.

The IPv6(Internet Protocol version 6), a next generation Internet protocol. was standardized to solve the problems of the IPv4(Internet Protocol version 4). However, the IPv4 could not be actually converted to the IPv6 at one time. Therefore, the transition mechanism is thought to be very much important to be compatible with the IPv4 naturally and convert to the IPv6 network gradually. Despite of the development of various kinds of the transition mechanism, the IPv6 network was not expanded. The research was mainly made not for current system environment but for technical purposes. This paper investigated the performances through the transition mechanism and examined proper ways being applicable to current environment.

This paper describes implementation of IPv6-IPv4 transition toolbox named as 6TALK(IPv6 TrAansLator of Krv6) and some scenarios using 6TALK which enables IPv6 island to connect other IPv6 island or IPv4 island seamlessly. 6TALK implements some transition mechanisms suggested in NGTrans Working Group of IETF. Those mechanisms are composed of basic mechanism, tunneling, and applied mechanism such as DSTM. 6TALK provides functions which enable IPv6 network at the edge of existing network to communicate with IPv4 network by using these transition mechanisms. As major transition mechanisms in 6TALK we adopt NAT-PT/SIIT and DSTM/DSTM options and as implementation environment we use Linux Kernel 2.4.18 and Netfilter framework. Software modules implemented in Linux kernel was ported to hardware box using Motorola MPC 8260 processor. The transition mechanisms used in 6TALK are the ones predicted to be used in initial transition step to IPv6.

The next generation Internet protocol(IPv6: Internet Protocol version 6) has been introduced to overcome the limitations of IPv4 and will be essential element for our industry environment. Transition to IPv6 is not simply replacing a protocol but complex work which affects the whole network. So, the accomplishment of appropriate plans and the systematic transition activities are required. In this paper, we examined the necessity of IPv6 transition and suggested the transition strategy in major parts of transition, such as networks, applications, and address management system.

The DSTM (Dual Stack Transition Mechanism), one of tunneling mechanism, is considered as the best solution in IPv4/IPv6 transition recently. The DSTM provides a method to assure IPv4/v6 connectivity based on 4over6 (IPv4-over-IPv6) tunneling and temporal allocation of a global IPv4 address to a host requiring such communication. A TEP (Tunnel End Point) operates as a border router between IPv6 domain and IPv4 Internet, which performs encapsulation and decapsulation of 4over6 tunneling packets to assure hi-directional forwarding between both networks. In this paper, we analyze basic standards of the IPv6 protocol. And, we design and implement a DSTM TEP daemon block. The TEP daemon analyzes a fevers tunneling packet that is forwarded by the DSTM node, establishes the TEP's 4over6 interface, and supplies communication between a DSTM and a IPv4-only node. Finally, we construct a DSTM testbed and measure performance of the DSTM TEP. Our observation results show that performance of TEP supports the DSTM service.

For a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6 network, the research of transition mechanisms have been processing according to the various network situations. Therefore, we calculate the cost based on the VPN applicable model. Also, we present that conformance between the end point of VPN, the If encapsulation tunneling, applying position of translation mechanism and VPN applicable model are the factors which affect Costs.

IPv4가 가지는 주소 부족 및 보안등의 문제들로 인하여, 인터넷 환경은 IPv6로 전이가 이루어지고 있다. 또한 노트북 및 PDA등 단말들이 소형화, 간편화되면서 단말의 이동성 문제가 쟁점화 되고 있다. 이러한 오늘날의 인터넷 환경에서. IPv4에서 IPv6로의 전이 환경에서의 두 프로토콜의 연동을 위해 여러 메커니즘들이 소개되고 있으며 단말의 이동성 제공을 위해 IPv4 기반으로는 이동 IPv4(Mobile IPv4)가 표준으로 제정되었으며 IPv6 기반으로는 이동 IPv6(Mobile IPv6)가 현재 표준 제정 완료 단계에 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전이 환경에서 이동성 지원을 위하여 이중스택 메커니즘을 사용한 이동 IPv4와 이동 IPv6의 연동 문제 해결 방안에 대해 모색해본다.
